I’ve been thinking a lot lately—not about goals that motivate, but goals that transform. In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear puts it beautifully: real change doesn’t come from chasing outcomes. It comes from shifting identity. You don’t just want to write a book—you want to become someone who writes. You’re not just trying to get organized—you’re becoming someone who values clarity. That shift matters.
Motivating goals give us momentum. Transformational goals give us direction—and a new definition of who we are becoming. That’s where the magic is.
You can not have what you are not willing to become.
Take one of your goals (yes, even the small ones), and ask:
What kind of person would naturally live this out?
Then—don’t overthink it—just do one small thing today that proves you already are.
You’re not waiting for change. You’re becoming it.

Conflict Resolution Starts with Conversation
In design and in business conflict is inevitable. Whether it’s a client who changes direction mid-project or a team member who misses a deadline, tensions can rise fast. But most conflicts don’t come from bad intentions; they come from miscommunication. The good news? Strong communication skills can turn potential clashes into opportunities for collaboration and clarity.
Motivating Your Team Through Powerful Words
Design leadership isn’t just about making creative choices—it’s about motivating the people who bring those choices to life. The right words can turn a project into a movement.
